I have managed to thoroughly confuse myself with the correct L-Pad wiring (with resistor). Yes, I'm somewhat of a novice, but fairly capable, and do better with pics than schematics. After re-gluing the detached tweeter cones, I was all ready to go, with parts in hand, photos from other restorations, and some understanding (so I thought) of what goes where.
Once I dug in to get the cap, resistor, and L-Pad in place, I realized most of what I had referenced online had the green wire connected to the "B" terminal on the original pot. Mine have the yellow tweeter wire connected to the "B" terminal and the green tweeter wire connected to the "2" terminal along with the green wire from the original cap. The blue wire from the cap is connected to the positive input.
I have already set up the L-Pad wiring as seen in a photo posted by JKent, i believe, with the resistor connected to yel/grn wires with disconnects, so I still have some flexibility to get this right without too much difficulty. However the wiring on the original pot does not match mine.
I'm making some edits to my post as I sort this out. Based on the side-by-side pic and L-Pad instruction diagram, it seems that for me, the cap should be on tab 3 of the L-Pad and the yellow wire should be on tab 2 of the L-Pad. So, basically just flipping the yellow and green wires as shown in the first pic.Are the tweeters marked for polarity? I haven't one of them to look. Does the "B" terminal on the original pot represent + polarity?
I'd be grateful if anyone can correctly confirm which L-Pad pins get which wires! Thanks!
